Sputnik Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Well, the boat I ordered in August finally arrived last weekend. A Stessl Edgetracker Pro Tournament. 4.75 metres. So far, I really couldn’t be happier. The boat handles really well, gets along nicely (60hp Yamaha 4 stroke on the back), and is incredibly stable to fish from. Now all I need to do is teach it how to find bigger Bream for me! Anyway, here's a couple of snaps of my (other) new baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MarkD Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I was luck enough to be out with Mike on Sarturday & Sunday and I can tell you first hand that its an absolute beauty!! The fish didnt co-operate but being out in such a fantastic vessel with great company more than made up for it..Cheers Mate Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullfrog Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Great looking boat but don't catch too much in it (save some for me!) One question, is that a rego sticker just below the winch? Whilst many boat dealers still attach them to the front, I believe that it is now illegal in NSW. I think they have to be displayed at the rear end, next to the number plate. Can anyone confirm this?

No idea if it’s illegal - can anyone clarify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozy Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Whilst many boat dealers still attach them to the front, I believe that it is now illegal in NSW. I think they have to be displayed at the rear end, next to the number plate.Can anyone confirm this? 21477[/snapback] They are suppose to be next to the number plate and this has been law for a few years but it is not very well known or policed. I can remember this topic on SF and the general consensus was that a rego sticker wouldn't last very long if it was being dunked continually, that's why people/dealers put them on the winch post. I was pulled over just after I bought my last boat around 3 years ago and only had an interim label and the policeman commented on the fact it must've been a new boat because of the label but didn't say it shouldn't be on the winch post. BTW nice looking rig Sputnick . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
